A genetic study was performed on a mutation which has caused loss of pyruvate formate lyase. The gene affected is designated pfl and is located close to ser C, i.e. at 20 mn on the chromosomal map of E. coli.
The conversion of a tol I11 Escherichia coli mutant, tolerant to colicins E2, E3, I a and K, into protoplast-like stable L-form makes i t sensitive to colicins E2, I a and K. I t s original sensitivity t o colicin El and tolerance to E3 are preserved in this celf form. Thus, rods of this mutant are
A genetic study of mutants deficient in hydrogenase activity was performed. In E. coli, the affected gene (hyd) is located at 51 min, between cys C and nal B; in S. typhimurium, it probably lies in the homologous region of the chromosome.
